STAND BY MEBen E. KingThis song relates to Jem and Scout. The song states “When the night has come” which could be the night that Bob Ewell attacked them after the school play. “No I won’t be afraid” shows how very brave both of them were during the attack. “Just as long as you stand , stand by me” illustrates that if Jem and Scout stand by each other they are strong together. The meaning of this song really is fitting for the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird. “If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall” portrays how when Tom Robinson was convicted of the crime and then killed that people of Maycomb needed to stand together to make things better for the community. It is important for friends, family, and a community to “Stand by Me.”
